Other Experience

Whitingham Ambulance Service

I was a volunteer with the
Whitingham Ambulance Service
and held a First Responder rating with the
National Registry of EMTs
and was a Vermont Emergency Care Attendant.

Home Systems and Network

(1985-present)

I have more computers, of more types, and a larger network in my house
than many small businesses. In maintaining this heterogeneous
collection, and putting it to use both in household and business
related ways, I have developed a facility with making systems work
together to achieve objectives.

Tech Model Railroad Club of MIT

(1973 to 1993)

The
Tech Model Railroad Club (TMRC) had
several PDP-11 computers. During my time with the club, I was the
person primarily responsible for the operation and maintenance of
their computers, as well as development of
specialized software for layout operation.
The system used for development work ran RT-11 and
had a wide variety of peripherals. There were several systems which
were used in operation of the club's layout. These ran stand-alone
code developed by me for the club. These systems are real-time
process control applications. I developed the kernel system as well
as the specific implementations in two of these systems. The programs
involve tree searching for route selection, routines to control the
relay interfaces, and status displays for the operators. I was
responsible for the maintenance of the relay systems that control the
layout as well as the hardware and software on all the computers at
TMRC.

Bristol High School

(1970 to 1974)

While a student at BHS and for a period of a year
thereafter, I wrote many programs to aid the use of their
PDP-8/E system and advised on the considerations for
expansion during this time.
While I was actively associated
with this system it grew from a minimum 4K and 1 terminal
system when first delivered in fall 1970 to a 4 terminal 12K
system with card reader, line printer and DECtape mass
storage. After I left they converted to a PDP-11 based system,
partly on my recommendation.
